This extension helps you create browser automations in Edge Chromium. You can install this extension in multiple ways, as shown below:

Install from UiPath Studio

1. Access the Tools page from the Studio Backstage View. The extensions you can install are visible in this page.
2. Click the Edge button. A confirmation dialog box is displayed. The extension is now installed.
3. Click Enable extension in the Edge Chromium confirmation pop-up. The extension is now enabled.

Install from the Studio Installer

1. Run the UiPathStudio.msi installer and navigate to the Installation Details section.

2. Switch to the Advanced tab and select UiPath extension for Edge Chromium.
3. Click Install. Studio setup continues while also installing the extension for Edge.

Install from the Command Prompt

1. Make sure all instances of Edge are closed.
2. You can install the extension for the current user by running the following command:
   C:\Program Files\UiPath\Studio\UiPath\SetupExtensions.exe /edge-chromium
   Alternatively, using administrator privileges, you can install the extension for all users on the target machine with the following command:
   C:\Program Files\UiPath\Studio\UiPath\SetupExtensions.exe /edge-enterprise
3. Start the Edge browser and click the Add Extension button. The extension is now installed and activated.

Install from Group Policy

You can also install the UiPath Extension for Edge by using Group Policies. This method silently installs the extension and enables it, without requiring user confirmation.

This installation method requires that the target machine has access to the Edge Web Store (https://edge.microsoft.com/extensionwebstorebase/v1/crx and https://msedgeextensions.sf.tlu.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com).

To install via policy, perform the following steps:

1. In the ExtensionInstallForceList policy, add mbmcfnpgjlfabjgfghopojlpjjhfoinb;https://edge.microsoft.com/extensionwebstorebase/v1/crx.
2. In the NativeMessagingAllowList policy, add com.uipath.chromenativemsg_v2.
3. On the target machine, install the UiPath Extension for Edge with administrator privileges using the following command:
   C:\Program Files\UiPath\Studio\UiPath\SetupExtensions.exe /edge-chromium-policyglobal

Uninstalling

The UiPath Extension for Edge can be uninstalled using the following command:
C:\Program Files\UiPath\Studio\UiPath\SetupExtensions.exe /edge-chromium-cleanup

Troubleshooting

Your system administrator might have configured Group Policies that prevent the UiPath Extension for Edge from working. To enable it, please follow the instructions from the Group Policies page.

If the UiPath Extension for Microsoft Edge cannot launch the UiPath Native Host, the solution is to manually add the ComSpec environment variable. This variable is set at Windows install and should have the value %SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe.

Support for IE Mode

As of v2020.10, the Edge Extension offers support for automating in Edge IE Mode.

Also, Java Applets, Silverlight and ActiveX controls can be automated in IE Mode, as the Edge Extension supports them.
